Entire Body System
- Weakness
FUNCTIONAL WEAKNESS Functional weakness is weakness of an arm or leg due to the nervous system not working properly. People with functional weakness experience symptoms of limb weakness which can be disabling and frightening. [fndhope.org]
Paralysis or the suffix “-plegia” indicates weakness so severe that a muscle cannot be contracted at all, whereas paresis refers to less severe weakness. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Of note, it is important to differentiate true neuromuscular weakness from weakness secondary to limited effort. [mdedge.com]
Main causes Some of the main causes of paralysis are: sudden weakness on one side of the face, with arm weakness or slurred speech – a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA or "mini-stroke") sudden weakness on one side of the face, with earache or [nhs.uk]
- Pain
·do·pa·ral·y·sis ( sū'dō-păr-al'i-sis ) Apparent paralysis due to voluntary inhibition of motion because of pain, to incoordination, or other cause, but without actual paralysis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The incidence of low-back pain in adolescence is similar to that in adults, but the causes of low-back pain are difficult to determine in most cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Falling
The hallucinations are called hypnagogic if they happen while falling asleep, and hypnopompic if they happen while waking up. At the same time, people with narcolepsy experience paralysis as they’re falling asleep or waking up. [sleepfoundation.org]
As you fall asleep, your body slowly relaxes. Usually you become less aware, so you do not notice the change. However, if you remain or become aware while falling asleep, you may notice that you cannot move or speak. [webmd.com]
But some people, particularly those who suffer from narcolepsy, actually experience it while they’re falling asleep. “People with narcolepsy fall into REM sleep right away, so that’s why it strikes right away,” says Dr. Dasgupta. [rd.com]
A good tip when having sleep paralysis is to close your eyes and try falling back to sleep. You might hear whispering and/or even shaking on your bed, try not to open your eyes and you'll fall back into sleep. [wikihow.com]
- Inflammation
Abstract Facial nerve paralysis can occur due to infection, inflammation, trauma, surgery, and tumors. It leads to facial asymmetry, impaired oral competence, articulation deficits, and psychological problems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Common causes of paralysis The most important causes of paralysis are: Myopathy – these are conditions which cause paralysis by directly inducing muscle weakness and include: congenital diseases, muscle inflammation and drug & alcohol induced Neuropathy [cyclonemobility.com]
In instances of inflammation of nervous tissue such as occurs in polio, specific nerve cells are damaged leading to paralysis and muscle wasting. [onhealth.com]
- Fatigue
After aprodromal phase (paraesthesias, restlessness, irritaility, fatigue, and myalgias) neurological symptoms will start with paralysis of the lower extremities. The deep tendon reflexes are weak or absent. [cvbd.org]
Treatment includes: Restoring nervous system function with gradual exercise and meditation Manage fatigue Manage pain Manage depression [fndhope.org]
Treatment involves management strategies to improve your quality of life and reduce pain or fatigue. As a highly contagious virus, polio transmits through contact with infected feces. [healthline.com]
Learn More About Topic Hoarseness Hoarseness (also called dysphonia) is an abnormal change in the quality of your voice, making it sound raspy, strained, breathy, weak, higher or lower in pitch, inconsistent, or fatigued, often making it harder to talk [entnet.org]
Symptoms include fatigue, slowly progressive muscle weakness and deterioration. Joint pain and bone deformities are common. PPS is generally not life-threatening. There is no known cause or effective treatment for PPS. [health.ny.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Failure to Thrive
Common clinical presentations of dRTA in the paediatric age group include polyuria, nocturia, failure to thrive, constipation, abnormal breathing and nephrolithiasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
CASE REPORT Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman with untreated hypertension and hyperthyroidism. She presented with muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea since one week. The initial diagnosis was TPP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Control the treatable risk factors like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart diseases 5. Take neccessry treatment of hypertension (if any) 6. Control cholesterol level and weight 7. Practice regular exercises 8. [nhp.gov.in]
A young man with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented for evaluation of severe bilateral weakness in the upper and lower extremities. [mdedge.com]

Neurologic
- Quadriplegia
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia or tetraplegia is where the individual is paralysed below the neck. This affects arms, legs as well as many bodily functions. Like with paraplegia, a SCI is the most common cause of paraplegia. [cyclonemobility.com]
Quadriplegia Quadriplegia, which is often referred to as tetraplegia, is paralysis below the neck. All four limbs, as well as the torso, are typically affected. [spinalcord.com]
Paralysis of the arms and legs is quadriplegia. Most paralysis is due to strokes or injuries such as spinal cord injury or a broken neck. [nlm.nih.gov]
Buta person with paralysis that affects both their armsand their legs (tetraplegia/quadriplegia)willneed a great deal of support, and it is unlikelythey willbe able to live without a dedicated carer. [zana.com]
- Monoplegia
Although there are many different types of paralysis, these can be broadly categorised into five main types: monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia and quadriplegia. Monoplegia Monoplegia is where one area of the body is paralysed. [cyclonemobility.com]
Monoplegia Monoplegia is paralysis of a single area of the body, most typically one limb. People with monoplegia typically retain control over the rest of their body, but cannot move or feel sensations in the affected limb. [spinalcord.com]
If the patient experiences paralysis in one limb, he or she has monoplegia. Sometimes monoplegia is a temporary condition after a stroke or brain injury. Loss of movement and feeling in the limbs on only one side of the body is hemiplegia. [knappandroberts.com]
Depending on the extent of paralysis, one speaks of monoplegia (paralysis of only one limb), paraplegia (paralysis of the upper or lower limbs), tetraplegia (paralysis of all limbs) or hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). [ottobock.com.au]
Depending on the extent of paralysis, it may be referred to as monoplegia (paralysis of only one limb), paraplegia (paralysis of the upper or lower limbs), tetraplegia (paralysis of all limbs), or hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body). [ottobockus.com]
- Paresis
Vocal cord paralysis and paresis can result from abnormal function of the nerves that control your voice box muscles (laryngeal muscles). [entnet.org]
While congenital sensorineural hearing loss is an unusual symptom, congenital facial paresis does not accompany Fanconi anemia routinely. [atif.sobiad.com]
Occasionally, interscalene block is also associated with recurrent laryngeal nerve block and seldom with cranial nerve paresis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Forme compuse: paresis n noun : Refers to person, place, thing, quality, etc. (slight or partial paralysis) pareză s.f. paralizie ușoară s.f. [wordreference.com]
- Dizziness
You feel confused and dizzy. The body loses coordination. There is change in the vision. There is loss of power or numbness in legs, arms or both. [practo.com]
Allergy symptoms may include: hives breathing difficulties swelling of the face lips tongue throat If the patient feels dizzy or drowsy they should refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery. [medicalnewstoday.com]
The following symptoms in addition to the symptoms of Bell’s palsy could indicate a stroke: changes in level of consciousness confusion dizziness loss of coordination seizure changes in vision weakness in arms or legs on one side of your body Often times [healthline.com]
She denied vertigo, dizziness, nausea, unsteady gait, numbness, or weakness. Examination showed that she was alert and responsive but was dysarthric and unable to initiate a swallow. [jnnp.bmj.com]
- Insomnia
[…] increase the risk of experiencing sleep paralysis: Increased levels of stress Irregular or insufficient sleep Use of hallucinogenic drugs, or withdrawal from these substances Sleeping while lying on the back Having a sleep disorder, especially narcolepsy, insomnia [tuck.com]
Sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia and nocturnal leg cramps. Stress. Some psychiatric groups, particularly those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety and panic disorders. Substance and medication use. [nosleeplessnights.com]
[…] you were paralyzed, and if you were paralyzed while falling asleep or upon waking up. [13] This information can all be useful, especially if you decide to a see a doctor about the condition. [14] Also track any other sleep problems you notice, such as insomnia [wikihow.com]
These include insomnia, sleep deprivation, an erratic sleep schedule, stress, and physical fatigue. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
Repeated magnetic resonance imaging as well as targeted workup failed to reveal a diagnosis. 20 months following symptom onset, after the patient's facial function slowly progressed to a complete paralysis, repeat magnetic resonance imaging revealed enhancement [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
After treatment, 73 patients (69.5%) improved to grade I, 29 (27.6%) were at grade II or III, and only 3 (2.9%) remained at grade IV or higher. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
BACKGROUND: We used voice analysis and clinicopathological factors to explore the prognosis of unilateral vocal fold paralysis after thyroid surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sex Like diaphragm eventration, diaphragm paralysis is more common among males. [9] Prognosis Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis Depending on the etiology of the diaphragmatic paralysis, the prognosis of unilateral disease usually is excellent unless [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Facial paralysis is a condition caused by a wide variety of etiologies, including neurologic, congenital, infectious, neoplastic, systemic, and iatrogenic causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If malignancy is not the cause, many times the etiology cannot be determined. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology

Discussion The pathophysiology of TPP focuses on Na-K ATPase pump. It has been demonstrated that thyrotoxic patients with TPP have significantly higher pump activity than the ones without the disorder (9-11). [turkjem.org]
Prevention
Most of the other causes of paralysis are easily preventable with good tactics. You can completely prevent paralysis from hitting floating eyes by not hitting them in melee unless you have reflection. [nethackwiki.com]
